3 Claims. (Cl. 221-60) This invention relates to that class of paste dispensers that are provided for dispensing shaving creams, toothpastes and the like out of coldevice for dispensingshaving creams, toothpastes, and the like, and as it is a bathroom novelty that will keep the shaving cream and tooth-paste tubesin a desirable position where they will always be ready for use, it is also another object of the invention to form the device in such a manner that will enable it to hold an ordinary drinking glass, and to thereby combine two novelties in one, without any additional expense.

The invention further consists in the particular combination, construction and association of the different parts such as described in the following specification, and posseses various other objects and features of advantage, some of which with the foregoing, will be made manifest in the following'description of the preferred form of the invention that is illustrated in the drawing accompanying and forming part of the specification.

It is to be understood that it is not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment or to the exact form as shown in the drawing and description as variations may be, adapted within the principle of the invention as set forth in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the invention, and shows'the preferred method of construction that is used for holding a paste tube and a drinking glass, and also illustrates how the paste tube is moved forwardly whenever it is desired to operate the device to dispense the past out of the tube.

Figure 2 is a cross sectional view, on line A-A of Fig. 1, of a slightly modified form of the invention in that the front wall portion of the central cylindrical body portion is continuous with its side walls and without thegap formed therein' how toothbrushes may be held thereon, and illustrates the preferred form of the invention.

Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional "view taken on line B-B of Figure 2, and shows the preferred construction that is used for dispensing the paste out of a tube.

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on line C-C of Figure 3, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows, and shows a fastening means for detachably holding the operating handle of the device in position.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the handle that is provided for holding a paste tube, and which is constructed in such a manner that will enable the end of the paste tube to be detachably fastened to the handle and to be wound therearound when the handle is turned.

Figures 2 and 4 show a slight modification over the preferred form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, in that the front wall of the centrally disposed cylindrical body portion of the device is continuous with its side walls, while in the preferred form shown in said Figs. 1 and 3, part of the front wall is cut away to provide a gap in itslower margin to facilitate projecting the paste tube' into said body portion.

Referring in detail to the different parts wherein like reference numerals designate parts throughout the several views, the numeral 7 designates the body of the device which is preferably constructed out of sheet metal, and is formed as shown in Figures 2 and 3. This construction makes it a very simple operation to form the body with an ordinary die, and enables it to hold an ordinary drinking glass in the upper portion of the body, and also to hold an ordinary collapsible paste tube in the lower portion of the body directly underneath said glass. The numeral 8 designates the glass or tumbler, and the numeral 9 designates the collapsible paste tube. The body '7, is formed in a manner that will en-- able it to be easily fastened to the wall of an ordinary bathroom as shown in Figure 2,.and is provided with a plurality of pins 10, which will serve as suitable hangers for holding tooth brushes.

Various forms of construction may be used for dispensing the paste out of the tubes, but the preferred form it is desired to use is illustrated in Figures 1, 2, and 4, and consists in providing a stationary pin 12, through the body of the device and providing a handle 14, that is also made in the form of a pin, and revolubly mounting the said handle through the body of the device in such a manner that when the end of a paste tube is fastened on said handle and the handle is revolved, the tube will be wound around the handle and will be drawn upwardly between the pin 12, and the handle, and will take the position as shown dotted in Figure 1, which will cause the paste to be forced out of the bottom of the tube. The handle 14 is preferably made out of ordinary brass tubing, and is provided with a slot- 14-A, that longitudinally extends therein, as shown in Figure 6, the said slot being constructed to receive the fiat end of a paste tube, and to hold the tube on the handle in such a manner as will enable the tube to be wound around the handle, when the handle is turned. The numeral 15 designates a knob which may be in any suitable form to serve the purpose of the invention. The diameter of the end of the handle, or pin 14, is reduced as shown in Figure 6, and forms a circular groove 14B that is provided for the purpose of enabling a catch 16, to fit in a portion of said groove and detachably hold the bandle 14 in the body of the device. The catch 16 is preferably formed as shown in Figure 5, and is slidably held on a pin 17 that is substantially fastened on the body of the device. It will readily be seen that when the catch 16 is raised to a position where it will be free from the groove 14B, the handle 14 may be easily removed longitudinally out of the body of the device, and it will also be seen that when the said catch is moved downwardly to a position where it will engage in the said groove, i l-B, it will hold what a simple matter it is to dispense the paste on the brush.

It is very important in the present invention that the pin 12 and revolving handle 14 be relatively arrangedin such a manner with respect to each other that the paste tube will be caused to be moved outwardly as shown dotted in Figure 1 when the handle is revolved to dispense the paste out of the tube. This is accomplished by preferably arranging the handle 14 slightly above the I pin 12, and by providing suflicient space between the pin and handle to allow for the proper movement of the tube. In other words, the tube swings outwardly toward the user each time the handle is revolved to dispense the paste out of the tube.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that the invention is simple, is exceptionally inexpensive to manufacture, and will serve as an attractive and useful novelty in any bathroom. The combination of its usefulness in holding both a paste tube and a tumbler is very advantageous and desirable. It may be used not only in bathrooms in private homes, but also may be used in hotels,

apartment houses, and the like. The device can parts pertaining to the invention, it is desired to include in this application for Letters Patent of the United States of America, any and all patentable novelty that exists in the illustration and description disclosed, andall that comes.
